Given an array of integers, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

解题思路：

1.题目要求找出数组中只出现一次的数；

2.xor异或规则：

a^a = 0;

a^0 = a;

所以，对数组N[N1,N1,N2,...Ni,...,Nk,Nk]所有元素做“异或”（假设Ni是唯一的数）：

N1^N1^N2^N2^......^Ni^......^Nk^Nk
=(N1^N1)^(N2^N2)^......^Ni^......^(Nk^Nk)
=0^0^......^Ni^......^0
=Ni

因此，代码如下：

class Solution {
public:
    int singleNumber(vector<int>& nums) {
        int ans = nums[0];
        for(int i=1;i<nums.size();i++) ans^=nums[i];
        return ans;
    }
};
